Analysis
Telekinesis in the Real World
Though it's never been proven that telekinesis has been used for death, as seen in this episode, telekinesis has become increasingly popular in the real world and has been tied to Psychokinesis, or "mind-movement". Many cases have proven that people have the telekinetic ability to influence the behavior of matter via mental activity.

Sam and Dean's relationship
This episode is a good example of the close relationship that has developed between Sam and Dean. Sam was only able to use his telekinesis when Dean was in trouble. Dean also shows that he cares for Sam by telling him that as long as Sam is with him, he won't let anything bad happen to him.
